Topic: Model-authorized, Incentivized and Unlearning-enabled Data Sharing for Large Model Machine Learning
Abstract: Machine Learning (ML) and AI systems heavily rely on the training over big and high quality data. As the training of large models almost exhausts the existing public data available in the cloud, we need to tap the data resources from private data owners. There are three important requirements for private owners to share their data out for AI model training: 1) security – the data shall be used and only be used for the training of the authorized model agreed by the data owner. The data cannot be used for any other purposes nor the content be revealed to any users. 2) incentive – the data owner shall be able to participate in the profit sharing of the trained model based on the contributions of his data to the model. 3) unlearning-enabled –the data owner shall be able to withdraw his data from a trained model. The “unlearned data” and its influence shall be removed from the model after the request unlearning. In this talk, we’ll discuss how the three requirements can be met and present our solutions.

Topic: Token Communications in AI-RAN: A Pathway towards Robust and Scalable AI Generative Services in Future Networks
Abstract: Token Communication is a emerging paradigm, where intelligent agents such as small and large language models and general-purpose robots are connected through fundamental AI processing units known as tokens. These discrete units are semantic information employed by foundation models. On the other hand, there is a recent trend to explore the concurrent use of converged computer-and-communications infrastructure to run RAN and AI workloads, enhancing platform utilization and creating new monetization opportunities. This concept is known as AI-Radio Access Network (AI-RAN), which natively implements AI-driven RAN functionalities, enabling site-specific RAN operations and improving KPIs. In this talk, we will provide an overview how token communication intersect with AI-RAN. Furthermore, we will also share some of our recent works in AI-RAN through Singapore’s Future Communications Research and Development Programme (FCP).
